Skirrid hike for Duke of Edinburgh's group

Our Duke of Edinburgh's Award participants headed out for another adventure at the end of March. This time tackling the Skirrid mountain in the beautiful Brecon Beacons, near Abergavenny.

They faced a tough climb battling strong winds, making reaching the summit a real victory. Once there, they even had to use their emergency shelter to stay warm.

After conquering the Skirrid, a well-deserved stop was in order. They chose the legendary Skirrid Inn, the oldest (and spookiest!) pub in Wales, perfect for warming up and sharing stories of their windy hike.

Huge thanks to Lisa, Mick, and Maria for keeping everyone safe and making sure it was a fun day, despite the challenging weather.
